Great place to stay, very tasteful, nice rooms, close to city center, good access to buses, various choice of breakfast, gentle and helpful host, price a little to high and doesn't have a good cancellation policy. Booked on booking.com because of better prices and process as on their own website. We would recommend it!

We stayed one night at Southside (based on recommendations from a neighbour at home) whilst visiting relatives in Edinburgh. Our first impressions were poor - we had had a stressful drive to and through Edinburgh (with an out of date Sat Nav and Edinburgh's imfamous tram-works) and then found there was np parking - Southside is on a busy road...

As a business traveller, I don't normally leave reviews, but this time I'm going to make an exception. This is a lovely little hotel with warm welcoming staff. Very comfortable and homely. I really enjoyed my stay for the week.

Lynn and Franco are wonderful hosts at this lovely B&B. We arrived early and they had the room ready for us, and were very helpful with local knowledge. The breakfast is amazing, and they even offer a bucks fizz! It is easy to get into town from the B&B, and it's right next to Holyrood park, which has amazing views.... More

They even print out the weather forecast each day for you! I was delighted at the location of the Guest House. It is within easy walk to the city center, although if... More

We stayed 3 nights Aug. 24 -27, during the busy festival season. My husband & I stayed in Room 8, which is probably the most beautiful room at the inn. It was decorated Art Deco style, with a four poster bed, leather couch, a sitting area, and French doors that opened up to a backyard garden. This was our first... More

We loved this place. Our room had high ceilings, art, vintage and unique furniture, and a TV/DVD player with a selection of movies in the hallway. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very helpful. Only disappointment was that the walk to downtown is a bit far (but doable) and through some cheap areas. Most of the restaurants around...

Very nice place to stay! Easy to book before the trip. Good communication. We stayed here in July 2011 for two nights. We met nice people and lovely hosts. Really good food was offered for breakfast. Additionally we got very helpful information for our tour! Well worth the money!!! We will definitely come back next time!

Our family of four enjoyed two nights at Southside at the start of our 10 day UK vacation. We really enjoyed all aspects of our stay. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed. We even took advantage of the DVD library one night. Franco and Lynne are very accommodating, warm and friendly hosts. Our inbound flight from Chicago was... More
